   If you need tyres asap, it really does not matter what it looks like if you can't afford both.
   It will look pants, though

   aslong as you get 195/45/15 profiles, itl look ok , obviously itl always look much better lowered, but tbh there isnt much difference between standard alloys and 15s ith lower profiles, ive been runnin on 15s for past few months until i could afford to lower, its goin in on tuesday but tbh, it looks fine the way it is just now

    depends what alloys you are going for. I personally think VTS alloys for example look ok unlowered. (See my pic below). But certain aftermarket alloys the car should be lowered, its only right!
